SENATORS WIVES.


A dispatch from Paris states that many
of the crown jewels of France, now offered
at public auction, will be sent to America
ON commissions from the wives of United
States Senators. 1t is just possible that
the wives of one or two of the extremely
rich members of the United States Senate
have made purchases, but we do not be-
lieTe the impression made by the dispatch
to be justified by the facts. 1t shows one
thing very clearly, however, and that is
the notion current abroad that the United
States Senate represents the plutocrscy of
America. This is very unfortunate for the
nations reputation. The phrase of the
dispatch was doubtless suggested by the
auctioneers themselves, DESTROYS Of ad-
yertising their wares to the best
advantage in this country, be-
lieving the announcement of purchases
by Senators wives would have the same
effect in stimulating others to buy that the
news of purchases by royalty would have
in England. 1t is not pleasant to learn
that we have come to be so regarded
abroad. Time was when il would have
been regarded as absurd to look to the
United States Senate for wealthy men.
The Senators of old were comparatively
poor men-some of the greatest of them
with no other income than their salaries as
such. In these days there are about a
dozen enormously wealthy men in the
Senate who, having but little claim for
distinction other than that conferred by
their possessions, have given that body a
character for plutocratic leanings and
legislation most distssteful to the Ameri-
can who is proud of his country. A
majority of the members of the Senate
are still men of small means, but
their rich associates are numerous enough
to give foreigners reason to believe that
the doors Of the chamber open easily to
the admission of rich Americans. 1t is
true, indeed, that the work of the body is
not done by the rich members. They
rarely show themselves in the debates.
The Voorheeses, the Fryes, the Harrisons,
the Edmundses, the Morgans, the Becks,
the Blairs, the Vests, the Cockerells, are
the Ueu WIN Hdko Tue 6SudtOIldl Wuecls
go round. The other fellows give the din
ners and create the impression in the for
eign mind that the Senate houses rich men
exclusively.
We do not believe the statement of the
purchase of Jewels by Senators wives will be
of the slightest effect in inducing the wives
Of other American citizens to buy. We
have not reached that stage when fashions
are set by them. 1t would have shown a
shrewder apprehension for the Paris auc-
tioneers to have issued circulars announc-
ing purchases by British royalty and scat
tered them in the ultra-fAshionable quarters
of New York City. We have not yet come
to that pass when the dicta of madame, tse
Senator's spouse, are absolute. Even a
Presidents wife cuts but little figure in
the fashionable world. But the Paris auc-
tioneers have warned us of what we may
be coming to.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The young business men of Louisville
have set the young business men of other
cities fine example of enterprise and en-
ergy. A few days ago 200 OF them signed
the following call:
The undersigned. believing that the future OF
the city OF Louisville belongs to the young men,
and that its prosperity and greatness as city
can be extended without limit through the
united, active energy and persistence of the
younger business element issue this call to all
the young business men OF the city to meet at
the Board Of Trade on Saturday, April 1G, at
noon, to organize for work. The action already
taken at the citizens meeting on Thursday was
such as to invite the cordial cooperation and
assistance OF ALL and we believe that an organ
ization OF young men who will undertake to do
any work assigned them in the effort to develop
the interests Of the city and State will be gladly
welcomed by committees already appointed to
organize the work. 1t is TO be hoped that every
young man in Louisville will consider this
special invitation to be present, and that they
viii turn out in such numbers as will demon
strste that every young man is ready to do his
duty and help the great work on.
The meeting was held and money SUBJ
scribed for the organization OF a Bureau OF
Information, the object being the adver-
tisement OF the advantages of the city as
manufactur and distributing point.
The young men Of indianapolis should
do as much. The city has probably reached
crisis in its history. 1t is certain that
we are to enjoy the possession of the facil-
tiles and comforts of natural gas, and with
the lighting of the first natural gas burner
in Indianapolis we will enter upon an era
of prosperity the like OF which we have
never known before.
1t is, therefore, time for the young men
of Indianapolis to rouse themselves, and
to devote their energies 70 the stimulation
and promotion oil all projects that have
the enhancement of the city's material
welfare in view.
They should aid with all their combined
strength in putting the city upon hill,
that it may be known OF men.
We are to have the goose that lays the
golden egg, aud the young men Of Indian
apolis must see to it that the blessed fowl
is not killed for the lack of proper atten-
ton.
1t was made evident last fall, long before
any one had conceived the idea that natu-
raj gas might be found near the city, or
might be brought into it, that business was
improving and the city growing. All our
merchants and property holders then an
ticipated a boom with the advent of
spring. But with the spring came the dis
covery that Indianapolis was contiguous to
the gas field and the boom which was 10

ALEXANDER MITCHELL.


The late Alexander Mitchell made him.
self useful in the world by winning success
for himself in business. He was a native
of Scotland, and possessed in marked de-
gree those peculiar qualities of tempera-
ment which make the Scotchmsn one of
the most desirable of immigrants. He
went into the Northwest many years ago
with small fortune. and died one of the
richest men in America. Meantime he
had succeeded in promoting many great
enterprises which have contributed i'm
mensely to the development of that rich re-
gion which, with Chicago as its focal
point, we now call, because OF Mr.. Mitchell
and his like, the Great Northwest. Mr..
Mitchell vas money-maker. Therefore
he always had money to loan and invest.
This he did with such rare judgment that
everything he appeared to touch sue
ceeded. His railroad was a success and his
bank success, and the success of these
meant the success of thousands Of his fell
low-citizens. But Mr.. Mitchell, after max
ing his fortune, did not, as so many of our
American millionaires do, go to New York
or Paris to spend it. He remained in Mil
waukee, where he had made his money.
There he built beautiful home and raised
up handsome business edifices. He and his
family were active factors in the social life
OF the place, and he was continually assist
ing in the development of the city. AS a
consequence, Milwaukee, because of Mitch
ell and others of his kind-PIankinton for
example-was not swallowed up by Chi
cago. They gave to the city an individu-
atty which made it conspicuous and po-
tential. despite the splendor of the great
city to the south of it.
One of the lessons to be derived from
the study of Alexander Mitchellis life is
that men make great cities. Mr.. Mitchell
might have died just as rich had he made
New York or Edinburgh the scene Of his
labors; but we doubt if he would have
acquired so enviable position among the
men OF his day as he won by aiding in the
development Of the region in which his
lines were cast. There are other cities in
the country which need only such men to
rise out of condition of lethargy and un-
importance. A half dozen strong, agrees
i've, Intelligent men can give to any city a
character for ability and enterprise, pro-
vided they show disposition to
help the community as well as
themselves. This Mr.. Mitchell did 1t
is likely enough that he grew rich at the
expense of others, for he was a Speculation;
but it is also true that thousands of people
are enjoying comfort because Mr.. Mitchell
was financially successful. He kept his
money actively employed, and had his
generosities. The community of Milwau-
kee is therefore in far better case to-day
than it would have been had Mr.. Mitchell
not been member of it. 1t is not against
the generous or the investing rich or
against the spendthrift that community
complains thinkingly. 1t is only the
misery rich who arouse just hatred or
contempt. Against the ostentation of an
effeminate or an arrogant plutocracy the
people do rightly complain, not because of
their wealth, but solely because of their
OstentatiOn.

The Driners say at is Tremen dOus Well"

THE storm of Friday afternoon and
night visited Southern Indiana with deVas-
tating effects, as will be noticed in the Sen
tinel specials from Salem and other towns
in that section. Dwellings were submerged
and people driven from their houses. Orch
ards, farms and fences were torn to pieces
in Clark County, but, strange to say, so far
as known, no residences were destroyed or
lives lost. When the strange, funnel
shaped cloud first appeared in that county
it looked as If it was ten feet in width, but
as it progressed its area widened to $50 feet.
1t leveled every barn, tree and fence that
stood in its pathway. Our Salem cor
respondent records the work of the freshet
as the most destructive ever known in that
section.

new factor.
But natural gas and railroad facilities
will fail of their proper achievement if the
people of the city do not proceed systemat-
ically to utilize them to the best advan-
tage. There must be advertising and adj
vertising. There must be trumpet-blowers
at home and missionaries abroad. This is
work to which the young men Of Irdian-
apolis, like the young men of Louisville,
should address themselves with due en-
thusiasm and assiduity.

particulars OF recent interview with the Presi-
dent.
Senator Vest, when questioned about the
matter this afternoon, declined to affirm or
deny the AUTHORSHIP OF the published interview.
When pressed for his private opinion, he said he
believed the President not to be actively push
ing his canvass, but that he would be willing to
serve another term If the Democratic party
insisted on his doing so.
Colonel Lamont, upon being question on the
subject, said: 81 am quite sure that the Presi-
dent never said that he would or would not ac-

concerning him, and know of no occasion call
ing for its decision at this time"

WE alluded yesterday to recent pension
of $12 500 drawn by Wisconsin soldier as
the largest that had been allowed thus far
by the Government. Indiana, however, is
not far behind in this matter. Mr.. Esau

granted pension of 81, 900, with SO per
